The Barbelles Society: Ladies Who Lift

I dunno is there any official channel for giving feedback on the bloomsbury gym? If enough people seriously demand for better facilities, it might eventually happen.
Haha yeah the location is a bit unfortunate, wonder who decided that.

It would be awesome if there was a properly equipped gym for a group of london unis, that was relatively central in location. I certainly would be willing to pay more than I'm paying for bloomsbury atm, as long as it wasn't anywhere near crossfit affliate prices.

I know I've sometimes looked at/tried on some bras, and wondered where the hell my actual boobs are suposed to fit, what with all the padding taking more than half of the space.
Bras aren't the most comfortable things (I really don't know how some people sleep in them, it's not like they're gonna somehow help prevent your boobs from sagging or something lol, if you wear them during the night). If only going braless was more normal and acceptable.

I sleep in a bra, its more out of habit because I was always too lazy to take it off though. It is more comfy braless but I live with a male dominant family so its awkward. I reckon it would be socially acceptable if people werent so bothered by what other people do tbh, going out without a bra would lead to so many comments and abuse.

Bloomsbury will always be ****. Half of it is because it's above a ****ing theater.

Bras help but it's a ****ing disappointment when you're gonna have sex and you realise she has no boobs but you thought she did. Personally don't see why you would have wonderbra etc. YES, it does look good in clothes. But when you're bound to have sex isn't the guy gonna realise and be massively disappointed? I know most/all would still go with it but, meh, it'd still suck.

Whereas you can't really fake a nice ass. That's not true, but I suppose it's less likely they're gonna be wearing some padded knickers although they do exist.

I have the same preference for men, a little bit of extra body fat is always better, although I wouldnt say no to a ripped guy.

I do think a lot of female athletes can pull off the six pack though, if you watch the athletics a lot of them pull it off well

Agreed, when some of my friends (some of them way taller than me) complain about their weight, and I'm like "yeah, I outweigh you by over 10kg, keep talking", and then they say something along the lines of "oh it's just all the muscle you have", it's not really helping. On one hand I wish I was skinnier and fit better into certain type of clothes, but on the other prefer my muscles (and the fat on top) to just being all flab.
But hey, you gotta have something to bitch about.

It would be pretty ****ing awesome, if you could just convert fat straight into muscle :P

I was gonna say "who sleeps in a bra?" but then Miss Lightyear came in and said she does, lol! I don't wear padded bras, ever. I'm really careful choosing them, I always try on the same style in a few different sizes to get the best fit so most of mine are really comfy, apart from a few of them are too big now since I lost body fat. I wouldn't want to go braless in public because a) I'd feel so wobbly and unsupported and b) it looks crap (on me - some people can pull it off!).

I wasnt very clear but I meant that comment in terms of actually walking around the house without a bra, sleeping braless wouldnt be awkward, i just prefer not to.

Managed to get 90kg 3x5 today after failing to complete all reps on Wednesday. Will upload the 2nd set later.

I imagine sleeping in a bra would be really uncomfortable, as would walking around without one on, ****ing hurts walking down the stairs.

PRSOM! That is insanely strong...

Squats I presume? Great work. That's the same as my last set of 3x5

I guess you have boobs then. All this bra talk is making me feel weird as I always had small boobs to start with and now my body fat is much lower I have even less boobs (although I still have a bit of a butt left but I'll rather have boobs than a butt ). My bust is quite small to the point that often I go out without wearing a bra (depends on what type of top I am wearing) .

Beast! Can't rep you again! How hard was it on a scale of 1-10?

Um, 6-7. I was slow coming up, but I never felt like I'd fail any of the reps; unlike Wednesday when I didn't feel confident about it at all. As much as I hate hearing people say it, sometimes I thing a lot of it is in the mind. If I managed 87.5kg 3x5 a couple of sessions ago and they weren't too hard, there's no real reason why I'd be incapable of 90kg for at least one set of five. Still having problems keeping my knees the hell out.
